Idaho Secretary of State

A bill requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship just passed the U.S. House of Representatives. It's simillar to Idaho voting policies enacted in the past year.

On Tuesday, the Secretary of State certified the results of November 5th general election. This comes after a mandatory audit of eight randomly selected counties found no major issues.

Tens of thousands of people signed up to vote on election day in Idaho, and election officials have been auditing the voting process to ensure everything worked the way it was supposed to.

This election wasn't just about who got elected, but how our election system works at both a national and local level. We examine Idaho’s turnout by the numbers and take a closer look at the issues that have come up this election season.

Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane says Idaho has precautions in place to make sure voting was safe and secure.

Last week, Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador filed a suit with the state Supreme Court to block a ballot initiative that would implement ranked choice voting and a top-four primary election system. But the Attorney General’s office represents both the plaintiffs and the defendants in the case, raising concerns of a potential conflict of interest.

Governor Brad Little announced the roll-out of the Only Citizens Will Vote Act this week, a series of steps to make sure non-citizens are not registered at the polls. Both the federal government and the Idaho constitution already specify only citizens are allowed to vote.

Over 1,000 Idaho precincts opened their polling places Tuesday morning as 43 out of Idaho's 44 counties will hold elections today.

Idaho Republicans had their own red wave at the top of the 2022 general election ballot. Each of the GOP candidates emerged victorious in their respective races for statewide office, but it was Phil McGrane who secured the highest percentage of votes in his race for Secretary of State – 72 percent.

Idaho's Secretary of State is asking people to report misinformation found on social media that could prevent voters from casting ballots on November 8th.
